Question Update

As of this morning only one response has been received from one of the candidates regarding the question in the previous post.

What does this tell me? Well, enough readers have bee to the post, and forwarded it on to others, ,so I am fairly sure the candidates have received it as well. Some candidates also read the blog on their own. So why only one response? I am not really sure, but I do believe that the question asked is a mute point, and they feel why waste their time with it.

Big mistake. Huge mistake.

See, it is not the rhetoric the voters want to hear, we hear that and read that all the time. What we want is something that is off the cuff, something true to the character of the individual without their weighing their answer against others positions. It can be very telling.

What can be more telling is how the candidates responds to this particular question. It was asked with a particular purpose. Like when one takes a test, one has to consider how damaging leaving a question blank will be compared to taking a guess. In this case, leaving a question blank can be more detrimental than giving a loony answer.

Let's give it another day or two, and then see where we are.
